How do I compare all other coffee spots after Samba? I am ruined forever. The ambiance alone is worth an entire review but, i refuse to tire your eyes on my useless ramblings of the wood tones, beautiful library-sheek furniture, and just plain wide open head space.
The real reason I'm writing this review is because I have had a recurring dream about Samba since spending a month back home in September...and only the good places make you crave in the unconscious. THE main craving involves my very first meal getting off of the mid day flight. I say meal because I indeed ordered five "courses"...and it took everything in me to share each one of them.
First, the Nutella Latte was unbelievable: espresso was perfectly cooked making it VERY balanced, NOT AT ALL bitter, and nutella just complemented it so well *le sigh*.
Next was the ham and brie which came on a fresh baguette of crusty goodness. I ended up chopping up in thirds to share...but inside i wanted to break out a whip and back out the door with it (That's right, an Indiana Jones reference. What of it?).
Last and definitely not least...dessert. Samba has tons of confectionery creations but I went for the most eye catching ones: the chocolate caramel pyramid, the cascade, and tiramisu dome. All practically melted onto your tongue with the least of chewing effort possible. the pyramid is by far the best dessert i've ever had in Vegas, hands down.
Samba is another one of those great finds tucked away in Summerlin. I feel so freaking blessed for living roughly...2 minutes from here. Now...if there would only be a way to convince the owner to open 24 hours a day...I would literally quit my job tomorrow and live full time in Las Vegas...It's THAT good.
